Three sections of the IPM model
sensory, short-term, Long-term
forgetting an old password after setting a new one
retroactive interference
___________ is conscious recall split into __________ and ______________
Explicit, episodic, semantic
Three types of encoding
visual, acoustic, semantic
the capacity to think abstractly, solve novel problems, and learn new skills
fluid
the brief retention of a sound, like a song or a spoken word, even after the sound source has stopped
echoic
memory loss that impairs the ability to form new memories after a specific event or trauma
anterograde amnesia
riding a bike, typing, or playing an instrument
procedure
Remember the first and last but forget the middle
serial position effect
the observed phenomenon where average intelligence scores on IQ tests have been steadily increasing over time
Flynn effect
Duration of short-term
30 seconds
participants focused on counting basketball passes and missed a person in a gorilla suit walking through the scene
inattentional blindness
remembering for the future; to do list
prospective
a mnemonic device that uses visualization of familiar spatial environments to enhance memory and recall of information.
method of loci
How to calculate IQ
(mental age/chronological age) x 100
the ability to temporarily hold and manipulate information in mind, like remembering a phone number while dialing or following instructions.
working memory
a vivid and persistent recollection of an event that did not actually occur or is significantly different from what actually happened
false memory
a persistent strengthening of synapses based on recent patterns of activity, leading to a long-lasting increase in signal transmission between neurons
long-term potential
identifying previously learned information when it is encountered again
recognition
assessment designed to measure an individual's potential or natural abilities in a specific area
aptitude test
Three sections of working memory
central executive, visuospatial, auditory loop
a student has trouble learning french because they took spanish for the past 3 years
proactive interference
the phenomenon where recalling information is easier when the environment or context during retrieval matches the environment or context where the information was originally learned or encoded
context dependent
a learning strategy where practice sessions are spread out over time, rather than crammed into a short period, leading to better long-term retention
distributed practice
Spearman's psychometric construct that represents a person's overall cognitive ability
"g" factor/general intelligence
